Most of my writing has been in the form of course materials for my work as a trainer.
I also write on peace and social justice issues, particularly Israel-Palestine, where I travelled with Interfaith Peace-Builders in 2014, after years of studying that troubled area. And now I feel more freedom to reflect on and write about matters affecting us all on a more direct level, like apology and forgiveness.
